Coconuts Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I know some folks don't care for their games, but this is ridiculous. Hopefully it ends with nobody getting hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Well at least no one got hurt. This is an inexcusable action by the prankster. Lock them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the things directed at the Cyberpunk devs were atrocious after the most recent delay. At first I wondered if someone within the company lost it. The industry is well known for crazy long hours and a slew of other issues. Glad it turned out to not be a real threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
